FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
A 'LEMON PUFF KOOSTEH AND HENS.
In a large cage near the centre of
Madieen Square Garden what is
probably the highest priced rooster in
America strutted about during the

the fact that bipeds of his style come

AMERICA.
Young, ami they were raised by
Mr. Newton Adams at hie farm near
Utica, N. Y. America ie a lemon bufl
colored cochin, and to obtain this
particular purity of shading brings a
feeling to the fancier very much like
the satisfaction a potter feels when a
perfect peach-blow vaae is produced.
America was sired by Wonder, a
bird that took first prize at the last
Poultry Show as a cock, und first
prize the year previous as a cockerel,
and whose get are said to be better
birds in every way than their sire.
The particular breed is known in
England as the Mrs. Harris strain.
The characteristic mark is the extrenio
length of feather all over the body,
as well as the heavy foot feathers. Mr.
George Purdue, one of the owners of
America and sisters, said that Mr.
Adams experimented a long time before
he was able to Drndneo iWir

were merely on exhibition, and they

In the large end of the egg there iH
what is cali the air cavity, or air
chamber. It is u small space inside
the shell and outside of the inner
lining or membrane of the shell. In
a fresh laid egg it is about as big
around as a dime and an eighth or i
quarter of an inch deep. But in old
eggs that have been on band a ktooiI I
while it is larger, und in eggs that
have been fronted it is also much
larger. By holding the egg nj> between
the thumb and forefinger, with
the large end turned in toward the
hand, and holding it between the eye
and a bright light, the air cavity can
be easily seen through the shell.
When the cavity is small, and the egg
inside the shell keeps firmly in place
as it is turned ,ivcr, the egg is fresh.
But if the air cavity is enlarged, and
there is a loose watery substance that
seems to run about within the shell
when the egg is turned, it is an old
egg, or else it lias been frosted, and
in either case it will not hatch.
If the air cavity is absent entirely,
and the inside of the egg turns about
loosely, then the inside liniug of the
shell, together with tbo yolk, is
broken, and in either a spoiled egg or
very noon will Y>e.
After an egg has been subjected to a
few days ol incubation?about five
days?the formation of a chicken may
be seen under a similar test. At first
only small red veins, until i dark central
point will be se<n, but after the
eighth or tenth day the veins enlarge
and increase and the dark spot also
appears much larger, so as to give
about one-fourth of the egg inside a
dark appearance with red outlines,
The movement of the chicken which
is in process of Jornialion may then
be detected.
